Greg Hartman | 76d05dc | 2016-11-23 15:51:27 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | This directory contains generic network interface device drivers that |
| 2 | do not contain any hardware or architecture specific code. The files |
| 3 | are: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | etharp.c |
| 6 | Implements the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) over |
| 7 | Ethernet. The code in this file should be used together with |
| 8 | Ethernet device drivers. Note that this module has been |
| 9 | largely made Ethernet independent so you should be able to |
| 10 | adapt this for other link layers (such as Firewire). |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ethernetif.c |
| 13 | An example of how an Ethernet device driver could look. This |
| 14 | file can be used as a "skeleton" for developing new Ethernet |
| 15 | network device drivers. It uses the etharp.c ARP code. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | loopif.c |
| 18 | A "loopback" network interface driver. It requires configuration |
| 19 | through the define LWIP_LOOPIF_MULTITHREADING (see opt.h). |
| 20 | |
| 21 | slipif.c |
| 22 | A generic implementation of the SLIP (Serial Line IP) |
| 23 | protocol. It requires a sio (serial I/O) module to work. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ppp/ Point-to-Point Protocol stack |
| 26 | The PPP stack has been ported from ucip (http://ucip.sourceforge.net). |
| 27 | It matches quite well to pppd 2.3.1 (http://ppp.samba.org), although |
| 28 | compared to that, it has some modifications for embedded systems and |
| 29 | the source code has been reordered a bit. |
